Actress Maria Bello On New Film 'Sun City Picture House'

PIX11 News’ Laurie Dhue shared a moment with actress Maria Bello as they discussed Bello’s wonderfully inspiring documentary SUN CITY PICTURE HOUSE.

Executive produced by Olivia Wilde and Maria Bello, SUN CITY PICTURE HOUSE is the story of Rapheal Louigene, a young Haitian man who loves movies. After watching the last of the old colonial movie theaters destroyed in the earthquake he enlists the help of a priest and two young aid workers to build Haiti's only movie theater on a hill above a tent city. The community rallies behind and all pitch in to work, sometimes through the night for four days and through a tropical storm to open on time.

Sun City Picture House is a joyful and moving story of a community torn apart by disaster then united in a singular vision of bringing back joy and cinema to a country destroyed.

The documentary short opens at the Tribeca Film Festival this Friday.
